Do whatever nourishes you. Get a pedicure, indulge in Starbucks/Coldstone, whatever is a treat for you. Walk on the beach, shop at the mall, watch a favorite movie, etc. Know in your heart that you gave all you could, and be at peace. Know that the good thoughts of many of us on this board are with you.

This is the last thing you posted on here. What frightens me most is when a BS goes silent, it usually means they stopped following MB. I'm hoping that's not the case here.

Hello everyone! Haven't been feeling well and have had a lot to do with my FMLA, etc.

WH left a note for me at lunch today:

I can no longer be kept locked from our home, the home I pay the mortgage on.� I'm requesting that you have a key made for me today and I'll come pick it up after work.� You can let me know where I can pick it up from.� I will not come to the house unanounced.� You will be notified when I need to come get something.� You can choose to be there or not be there, that is up to you.

This is just ridiculous... he is not right in the head to even think its appropriate to ask me for a key. I thought my neighbor left the note and then I realized it was from him.

Its unlucky that you read it. I did a similar thing because it was just one line written on what looked like a bill.

Throw it out. Breathe. Reboot.

Unless you have filed for D (or legal separation) and have a standing order that you have exclusive right to the home, your WH is legally allowed to enter the house. You don't have to make him a key but he can enter the house. Just an FYI.

Many a good man has failed because he had a wishbone where his backbone should have been.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

I'm not responding or abiding by his wishes. He wants his soccer bag, so should I just leave it on the porch and not answer the door or completely ignore him?

Did his request for the soccer bag go through IM? If not, then you've got your answer.

DO NOT read any more mail that he leaves for you. THis is something he could have sent through your IM and has chosen not to.

While you may need to legally let him in, ATM, I would make him make you. KWIM?

Make him get a lawyer to get in, or make him break in so you can report an intruder to police (they never do break in, though do they? They want the BS to LET them in) don't roll over and let him in.

Any legal claim he makes that you're witholding property can be easily disproved by your IM emails. Its easily proven that he has been offered a civilised way to get his things.

Don't respond to the soccer bag request. It would be so so easy for him to ask your IM for this. Why hasn't he? Its a test to see whether you're reading the notes. If he really wants it, he'll ask your IM

How did he ask for the bag? Same note, different note or something else?
